About Homemade tuna salad

Homemade Tuna Salad is a simple, protein-packed dish often associated with American cuisine, though variations exist globally. This classic recipe typically includes canned tuna, mayonnaise, celery, onion, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs or pickle relish for added texture and flavor. It's commonly seasoned with black pepper, lemon juice, or herbs like parsley and dill. Tuna is a heart-healthy source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for brain and cardiovascular health. When made with light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of traditional mayo, the salad becomes a more balanced option, reducing calories and saturated fat. Served on whole-grain bread, with crackers, or over a bed of greens, it makes for a flexible meal or snack. Watch out for sodium levels in canned tuna and condiments, as they can be high. Opt for low-sodium options to maximize nutritional benefits in this easy-to-make, satisfying dish.
